Post subject: WonderCon 2010 - Yes or No to Booth Charity Raffle?
I'd like to get the input of our membership before making a decision on whether or not to hold a charity raffle at our WonderCon booth again this year. We've done this two years running so far. The first year earning roughly $300 for Autism Speaks, and I believe last year it was about $650 for Boys and Girls Clubs of San Francisco.
I want to know, is this something you all would feel comfortable donating items to, helping sell raffle tickets, and contacting winners to give out their prizes each day this year (or maybe just Saturday?) It does take some effort to keep track of the funds and selling tickets through the day, and keeping track of who won which prize so they can be handed out before the closing of the con.
I found it takes at least 3-4 people at the booth the hour we do the raffle winner announcement drawing. (one chooses tickets and announces winners to the crowd, one writes down the winning ticket information next to the prize on the tally sheet, one calls cell phone numbers to notify winners, and another tapes the winning ticket number to the prizes with the name written on it if people are not there to pick up the prize at that moment!)
I encourage you all to cast your vote. And if you feel comfortable speaking about it, chime in here with ideas. Thanks

I'll contact companies for prizes again, and see what we get. I think depending on that will determine how big a raffle we have. A couple years ago, we had just 3 figures from Sideshow Collectibles. Fast forward to last year - WOW, what a difference!
With WonderCon falling on Easter Weekend, some members might not make it Sunday, or just show up one day of the con. So its a toss up. If we were to do it, maybe just on Saturday, with tickets being sold on Friday too. The raffles have been very rewarding raising funds for great causes. But at the same time, it takes a toll - especially on you, Kathy.
If we get prizes and decide not to do a raffle, I wouldn't mind having just donating the prizes for the raffle at the dinner instead.

I will abstain on actually voting for this one, since I won't be there at Wonder Con this year (will be in Oklahoma for training
). Otherwise I would vote yes, since I had been planning on helping you out Kathy for that day. If you decide to have one I would suggest just a one day raffle. Limits the amount of time and amount of headache, but still gives us the opportunity to continue to raise money to support our charity. Also it allows "others", which is other than our own members, the chance to win. Since the dinner is all 501st & RL members, the dinner raffle seems to be only what our own people donate & win. And though we are all the ultimate Star Wars fans who love to win Star Wars stuff, it would be nice to extend that to the outside world in the hopes to bring some additions to our group. But ultimately it is up to the person that has to take care of all this stuff and run the whole thing! I know the amount of work involved and amount of time dedicated to watching stuff and running the thing having done that for five years with the 501st table. Yeah, I didn't see much of the con those years because of that. I do have a couple of items that I would donate for the raffle if you decide to have one. I will let Tami know what they are and should you decide to have a raffle, she can bring it in to you (or get it to you prior to WC) as she plans to go to Wonder Con.
So good luck on whatever you decide. I know it is a lot of work, but it does reap some great rewards.

I'm also going to abstain on the vote since I never participate in raffles even when I'm working at a table that is holding one. I can't ask the parents of my students to donate needed supplies for my classroom, much less ask total strangers for money at a con. Even when it's for a good cause, I'm never comfortable with asking... so I don't!

I know what you mean, Pam! I always have a horrible time asking people for money myself.
I'm really torn on this question. I love the idea of doing something good for charity, I really do. However, having said that, I suspect things are going to be a lot more more time-constrained this year. I think a lot of people won't be at the con on Sunday due to the holiday, which in turn means a number of our members will be fitting their con experience into just Sat (or perhaps Fri as well if they have the day off). Given that, I find myself considering that it might make more sense to skip the raffle for this year.

Well, we probably wouldn't do the raffle on Sunday (if we do it) since it sounds like we may barely have enough people just to man the table Sunday with it being Easter.
As for selling tickets, I never expect anyone to go out of their way to ask for money if they are not comfortable with it. I find for me it is 50/50. Sometimes I mention it, but last year in particular most people came to the table and asked ME about it. They asked what all these things on display were for, if they could buy them or enter the raffle so it was just a matter of explaining it to them once they asked. No hard sales pitch.
Just some things to think about.

I voted and recommend we bypass this year, mostly because it's Easter Weekend and, as Kathy has pointed out, the lack of members to work the raffle.
This club does a lot of other fund raising events, besides WonderCon. Barbie is holding a raffle with the 501st and since we are its sister club, we are with 1 degree of separation, participating in a raffle this year.

Robin, don't forget that is not just a 501st dinner. it is the 501st/RL dinner so the raffle at that dinner is credited to the RL and all the members who contribute
RL members donated raffle items last year, and bought raffle tickets.

OK, it was a very close vote! But I think given the fact that there are quite a few people who would rather not have to worry about the raffle this year we will not do one at the table. Maybe next year when more people are in town and we feel more confident about supporting it
This year, we will put our donation focus into the Rebel Legion 501st dinner Friday. Be sure to contact Barbie to with any donations you have and coordinate getting your items to her

My grandmother used to tell me stories about how difficult it was for her to interact with my grandfather before they were married. Those days Japanese culture used to be more conservative than today hence get to meet a young man was a thing next to impossible for a Japanese woman.
We are free!
Fortunately, I am born in an era where it does not require you to even go out of the house to meet your loved one. With the growing popularity and membership of live chat websites, Japanese couples have found it very easy to stay in touch even if their family members do not allow them to step out of the house and meet each other.
Bridging the barriers
During my exam days when my mother had mandated it for me not to step out of the house and to focus on studies, I used to do live chat with Takashi and stay in touch with him all the time. When I compare my story with my grandmother's I really feel like thanking my starts that I am born in the internet age and the concept of live chat in Japan has been launched where no distance feels like a distance.

Fall Course at the Clark Surveys British Art From Charles I to the Twentieth Century
For Immediate Release
August 30, 2007
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's recent gift of over 200 British works of art from the Manton Foundation inspires this year's fall course. In four illustrated presentations, the Clark's curator of education Michael Cassin will look at the history of painting in Britain, from the elegant portraits and exciting narrative paintings produced by continental artists brought to England by King Charles I, through the agricultural and industrial revolutions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, to the exciting variety of British painting in the twentieth century. The series, "Art in Britain: From Van Dyck and Sir Peter Lely to David Hockney and Paula Rego," is held on the first Thursdays of September, October, November, and December from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. Registration is not required but can be made by calling 413-458-0563. Cost is $6 per class ($4 for members) or $22 for the series ($15 for members).
On Thursday, September 6, the first lecture in the "Art in Britain" series will focus on "Art at the Court of Charles I." When the Flemish painter Rubens visited Britain in 1629, he was astounded by the quantity, quality and variety of the art collections that he found at the Court of King Charles I. These included paintings by Rembrandt, Artemisia Gentileschi, and Rubens himself, and portraits by Van Dyck, depicting the royal court in all its splendor. This lecture will look at the remarkable collection acquired by one of the most sophisticated connoisseurs of the seventeenth century.
The remaining classes in the series are "Art and the Grand Tour" on October 4, "Art in the Industrial Age" on November 1, and "Art in Britain in the Twentieth Century" on December 6.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, MA. The galleries are open daily July 1 through September 17, 10 am to 5 pm (closed Mondays September 18 through June 30). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

There is a great event coming up soon, the "Adventure into Art" Studio Tour. For the sixth year in a row, sixteen artists will open their working studios for self-guided tours – for free! Friday and Saturday hours are 10-6 and Sunday 10-4. World-class artists will offer demonstrations and show works in progress and for sale. You'll see paintings in oil, acrylic, pastels, watercolors, pottery, jewelry, wood, metal and found objects.
Participating artists include Jim Nelson, Rebecca Becker (Prospect Gallery), Drew Gentle, Carol Saari, Cynthia Re Robbins, Larry Mansker, Craig and Lorna Trigg Hirsch (Fire Om Earth Studio), Chon Stanley, Sara & Terry Russell, Rich & Janet Goodyear, Maureen Daily, and Bob & Diana Harvey.
Tour maps brochures are available in advance at Visitor Centers, the Chamber of Commerce, and downtown shops and galleries. This will be a wonderful event where you can visit actual real artist's studios, see demos and buy art! An awesome way to get to know Eureka Springs.
And we'll be here at the Bridgeford House to help direct you in any way we can, so make plans to come that weekend – the weather should be gorgeous!
Warmest regards,
Jeff and Nadara (Sam) Feldman – and Sophie, too!

text: I'm curious where it stalled, between the tophat and the high banked turn or the high banked turn and the tower and in which direction. My guess is that the LIMs didn't operate or push the train up far enough and stalled between the high banked turn and the tophat when returning back. If I remember correctly, it doesn't go very fast through the tophat on the return trip as it is. So that's where I would think it would stall and valley.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KathyB Love the shape and pattern of this dish I have 2 of these and two of the split bowls, and I use this one the most. I prefer the pattern on this over the sunflower pattern on some of the other pieces. Mashed potatoes, vegies, casseroles...this bowl gets a lot of use! I've had these bowls for 3 years now. December 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by NormaJean2 perfect size vegeatable dish I have many pieces of Pistolet and am always pleased in the complementary variations of color and pattern. This vegeatable dish is the perfict size for a number of recipes. I just used it for a birthday party and it was perfect. The yellow glazing was a little paler than some of my other Pistolet, but there does seem to be color variations through out the set. This doesn't doesn't detract from its looks, and does infact give it that 'french country' look that Pz. is going for. August 27, 2012

The taxpayer-funded expedition will take President Obama to Cushing, OK – a key point along the popular Keystone XL pipeline, which he rejected and personally lobbied against – where he will make a show of his support for … the part of the pipeline that didn't need his approval and is moving forward with it.
But this week's costly dog-and-pony show isn't likely to fool anyone. The president wants the American people to think his policies have nothing to do with rising gas prices, but the facts tell a different story:
No wonder a new survey from The Hill found 68 percent of Americans believe "Obama's policies will result in gasoline prices increasing," and a plurality believe "they will cause the United States to become even more dependent on foreign oil." Similar surveys by ABC News/ Washington Post and CBS News/New York Times show overwhelmingly disapproval for the way the president is handling gas prices.
While the president and Democrats are scrambling and playing defense, Republicans are working to remove barriers to American energy production and stop policies that drive up gas prices.

Mount Rose, the oldest operating school in Washoe County, is celebrating its centennial this year, kicking off a series of events for the next five months. The recognition of its 100-year anniversary begins today with a reading of a proclamation in the Nevada Legislature. Assemblywoman Teresa Benitez-Thompson will introduce the proclamation at 11 a.m. during the Senate's floor session. Sen. Sheila Leslie will read the proclamation.
Principal Krissy Brown, in her first year at Mount Rose, said recognizing the school's historical and educational importance speaks to the community's changes over time.
"As the oldest school in the district, Mount Rose has gone through the full cycle from being the central focus of community life for the downtown and old southwest neighborhoods, to near demolition and years of changed population demographics," Brown said. "The pendulum is now swinging back with families recognizing that the small school size, unique building and grounds, a multicultural population and proximity to cultural amenities make Mount Rose an attractive educational environment."
Mount Rose was built in 1912 by local architect George Ferris, who designed the school in Mission Revival architectural style. The campus is the last of Reno's "Four Sisters" built in this style as approved by the voters in 1908 and 1910 bond elections and which still functions as a school. The other remaining school is the city of Reno's McKinley Arts and Culture Center.
The school nearly faced demolition in the 1980s because it had fallen into disrepair. Resident activists persuaded the district's trustees at that time to reverse the decision to close the school and to instead renovate it.
Resident Ted Schroeder was one of the activists involved with keeping the school open. He recounted how former southwest Reno residents advocated for a school improvement bond, which was passed by voters and provided funding for Mount Rose's renovation. It also opened the door for funding for other Reno schools.
"The neighbors felt the school was the heart of the neighborhood and to close the school would rip out the neighborhood's heart," Schroeder said. "So in that way, other neighborhoods won by our activism by having their schools improved."
Other activities to come as part of the centennial this year include an old-fashioned picnic in October on the school ground at 915 Lander St. and an open house at which photos and newspaper clippings of the school and other world events will be on display.
The school also will have a three-part rotating exhibit, the first of which was installed last year and showed the school's construction in urbanized Reno at the time. The second installation this spring will show the school in a post-World War II era with a focus on the school's community. The final phase will show the changes of the Mount Rose neighborhood, a project spearheaded by Jenny Brekhus, the mother of a fourth grade student and organizer of the commemoration.

U.S./Domestic Off-Campus Study
The Washington Semester Program at American University
The Washington Semester Program has been in existence for over 60 years, and Skidmore students have been participating in the program for over 40 of those years. It is the preeminent program of its kind, bringing undergraduate students to the nation's capital for first-hand experiences and contact with political, business, and community leaders.
Students combine classroom work with practical experience to gain a better understanding of American government or a specific public policy area. Each program consists of an 8-creditseminar that meets 3 days a week, a 4-credit internship that you will participate in two days a week, and either a4-credit research paper or a 3-credit elective course taken at American University (AU).
The SeminarsPrograms of study within the Washington Semester include:
- American Politics
- Middle East and World Affairs*
- Foreign Policy
- Global Economics and Business*
- International Environment and Development*
- International Law and Organizations*
- Journalism
- Justice and Law
- Peace and Conflict Resolution*
- Transforming Communities
* These programs include a short-term study abroad component. Interested applicants must submit a petition statement, one faculty letter of support, and a copy of a valid passport with their application. Contact OCSE for details as soon as possible.
Students may receive credit for up to 18 semester credits for the Washington Semester program.Credit earned through the program will count as transfer credit and will not affect the Skidmore GPA. However, all courses and grades do appear on a Skidmore transcript.Students must earn a "C" or above for Skidmore to accept the transfer credits. Transfer credits may be applied toward major, minor, and all-college requirements with the approval of the student's major or minor department and the Registrar's Office.Courses taken at the 300 level will fulfill Skidmore's all-college maturity-level requirement.OCSE can not guarantee transfer credit for coursework that has not been pre-approved.
The internship is an integral and required component of the Washington Semester Program. It represents one-fourth of the semester curriculum. Notwithstanding the academic requirements, the internship provides the student with on-the-job experience, integrates classroom learning into real world situations, develops individual and interpersonal work skills and allows students to test career interests.
The Washington Semester Program has a fully searchable online internship database that boasts over 2,000 different internships at thousands of sites-all in the D.C. metro area. Past internship sites include American Red Cross (National Headquarters), Children's Defense Fund, U.S. Department of Commerce, World Bank Group, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Amnesty International, U.S. State Department, United Press International, NBC Washington, National Press Foundation, CNN, C-SPAN, U.S. Department of Justice, Supreme Court of the United States, and the offices of members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.
Research Project or Elective Course
Each participant, in addition to their program seminar and internship, will enroll in an elective course on the Tenley Campus or the main American University campus oran in-depth research project that uses D.C. as multi-faceted resource. Elective course offerings can be found online at AU's Web site.
PLEASE NOTE: Students wishing to enroll in an elective course may only enroll in a course that begins at or after 5:00 PM in order to accommodate the Seminar and internship hours. Moreover, students approved for a Washington Semester program that includes a study abroad component and who also wish to enroll in an elective course are advised to select only from the course offerings at the Tenley Campus. Typically only four (4) or five (5) courses are offered in the areas of Public Affairs and International Service. Final course offerings on the Tenley Campus will be publicized by AU within 2-6 weeks prior to the start of a new semester.
Housing & Meals
Student housing is available through American University and the Washington Semester in the Berkshire Apartments, located directly across the street from the main campus, or in off-campus apartments on Capitol Hill. The Berkshire Apartments are only one block from main campus at American University and right next to a Metro station, providing easy access to transportation throughout D.C.

NEW YORK — The Orioles have done the improbable so many times this year that it would be foolhardy to assume that the odds are now stacked so high against them that they cannot get out of Yankee Stadium with their title hopes alive.
They have certainly created another situation that calls for more than the usual dose of Oriole Magic. They need to pick themselves off the grass after another painful pinstriped loss and win tonight's Game 4 just to earn the right to stare down Yankees ace C.C. Sabathia in a climactic Division Series-deciding game Friday.
Can they do it after having their hearts handed to them in back-to-back at-bats by Yankees super sub Raul Ibanez?
"We still control what we're going to be able to do," manager Buck Showalter said. "Now we've got to win two games instead of one."
It's not an impossible task by any means — especially when you consider the way the Orioles have gotten to this unexpected point in the postseason — but they're going to need to change the script a bit and put more pressure on the Yankees pitching staff to stage a comeback of the necessary magnitude.
They accomplished something unprecedented when rookies Ryan Flaherty and Manny Machado hit home runs in the same postseason game, but that little piece of history was worth only two runs and that was all the Orioles offense could manage against Hiroki Kuroda and a couple of Yankees relievers.
Miguel Gonzalez and Darren O'Day made the runs stand up for eight innings, but closer Jim Johnson got his aura of invincibility punctured for the second time in three Division Series games when pinch-hitter Raul Ibanez — replacing struggling Alex Rodriguez to a loud ovation from the sellout crowd of 50,497 — drove a 1-0 fastball down home run alley in right-center field to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth. Ibanez came back in the 12th and hit the game-winning homer in the 3-2 Yankees' victory.
The Orioles had won 16 consecutive games in extra innings, but all that did was allow the Yankees to team up with the law of averages to make this defeat an even bigger kick in the teeth.
How do you bounce back from that?
How many devastating disappointments can one young team endure before the rear-view mirror cracks and the mojo leaks out?
Showalter will undoubtedly insist that this team has a special chemistry that will allow it to forget what happened in Game 3 and focus squarely on tonight's matchup against 16-game winner Phil Hughes. He may be right, but that won't matter if the Orioles continue to walk the run-differential tightrope they fell off of Wednesday night.
Somebody is going to have to deliver a wakeup call to the heart of the batting order, which has been all but invisible during the first three games of this series. Adam Jones and Matt Wieters have combined for just three hits in 26 at-bats during this Division Series and No. 2 hitter J.J. Hardy is just 1-for-11.
Jones and Wieters are supposed to make the offense go and they have gone missing at a most inopportune time. It's fair to speculate that has something to do with inexperience and an inability to a dial down their adrenaline in key situations, but Showalter wasn't ready to do that.
"It's a short sampling, like early in the year in April when guys go through periods, you trust the track record," Showalter said. "Matt has hit some balls right on the button. Adam put us in position to have a potential big inning tonight and the job that Matt did behind the plate…I can't tell you how challenging that is to put down the great fingers that he does. That's just part of this time of year. We dwell on the short stats and rightfully so, because there is a sense of finality to the games."
The great postseason performers claim that it isn't a matter of stepping up in big situations. It's more about being able to maintain the same competitive edge that got them into the playoffs in the first place.
There's no question that that some of the Orioles hitters are operating with too much of what Showalter calls "want-to" and it is keeping them from doing the things that has set the bullpen up with enough cushion to get through the ninth inning.
For eight innings, this was 2012 Orioles baseball in a nutshell. Three rookies — one of them a journeyman minor leaguer who last pitched meaningful games in the Mexican League — distributing the credit for what would have been an uplifting Orioles victory that paled in this century only to the win in Texas that propelled the club into this series.
Instead, it was just another one of those games that the Yankees have become so famous for winning when it counts the most.
Sad but true.

Fire crews had their hands full Saturday morning battling a two-alarm blaze near Helotes.
The fire started around 4 a.m at Pedrotti's North Wind Ranch in the 13000 block of Farm Road 1560.
The blaze was contained to one building but the two adjoining buildings sustained smoke and water damage.
The location of the fire did make it difficult for fire fighters to get to the flames.
60 fire fighters worked to put out the blaze.
Investigators think a dryer might have sparked the fire.
No one was injured.

The dual-threat QB left Saturday's game after being struck on his right knee during the first half. Exhibiting signs of distress, Fajardo later came back and played for most of the third quarter, completing 18-of-21 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns.
--RB Kendall Brock sets several personal records in first career start:
The junior is admittedly not known as a "gutsy" runner, but he managed to pick up the work load in place of injured starter Don Jackson. Brock set a personal best with 116 rushing yards against UC Davis and scored the first two career touchdowns.

I need integrate AeroGear+Postgresql and deploying on Tomcat.
I try of generate the War file and deploy on tomcat. I guess I need to copy the driver and configure persistence.xml
how I do this?
where to copy the driver?
thanks ...
Hi Crow,
As we mentioned in the other thread AeroGear+Postgresql+Tomcat the aerogear quickstart example is based on JavaEE and so has some additional requirements that are not part of Tomcat. Specifically about the backend services (JAX-RS/REST).
The client side is straight HTML and so can be hosted nearly anywhere, but without the services to point to it won't do much :-)
So there is no way of connecting AeroGear with Postgres and deploy in tomcat?
My problem is that in my work have a Tomcat server and I was looking for ways to make an application with AeroGear+Postgresql and deploy it there.
If anyone can recommend me something...
The best approach will be to get JAX-RS, and CDI working on Tomcat (check their wiki's for instructions).
The client side piece is just straight HTML & JS pointing to RESTful endpoints. It does not really care what executes the RESTful endpoints, so as long as the services return the same as described here.
|Retrieving data ...

I disagree; my 8 yr olds (older now) have watched the baby/younger kids while I showered, cooked, etc. and even ran to town (2½ miles away) for something.
Really, I think having an 8 yr old watch a baby for 15-20 minutes is not that big of a deal, especially if s/he is very mature for their age.
I'd be 100% ok with an 8yo watching a baby with me in the house.
It's the not being able to help in the case of an actually emergency that would scare me.
I also think that many 8yos are old enough to stay by themselves for that short period of time.

Nice ambiance, friendly staff!
I am Officially Spoiled Now – I don't remember my masseuse's name, but she was AMAZING. I have never had such a deep, through massage. She knows her stuff too! She explained everything she was doing and told me why my muscles reacted and/or got sore the way they did. She was very knowledgeable and answered ALL my questions through the massage. My favorite part of the massage was when she moved my shoulder blade and massaged the muscles underneath! It was so weird, but felt great.
I am officially spoiled now and definitely plan on a repeat experience to Spa Forever!
Can't Wait to Go Back! – WOW!!!!! That about says it all. Greeted by a friendly staff when I arrived, was shown to my room. The serenity of the environment was incredible, I decided to pay the extra to upgrade to a deep tissue - AND BOY, WAS THAT WORTH IT. My masseuse was great, she kept asking if there were any areas that needed special attention, and also ensuring I was comfortable throughout the entire massage. She had incredibly strong hands to work those knots out...the longer the better....I feel like my shoulders have dropped a couple inches from the time I walked in the door, til the time I walked out. Can't wait to go back!
I Love This Place! – I come here for massages also and love them. Front desk is also very nice and accommodating with lots of personality! I love this place!
Outstanding – I have been coming to SpaForever since it opened a few years back. I love this affordable spa. Just got my eyebrows waxed by Dianka who once again did an outstanding job!
Pretty Atmosphere, Great Massage – I absolutely LOVE getting massages from Paula. I actually followed her to Spa Forever fro another salon, she is just great!! Always professional, mixes up her technique, doesn't talk the whole time, and has 'magic hands' as I like to say;-) As far as Spa Forever goes, I think it was also great. Very zen like, pretty atmosphere. I will definitely go back, and I highly recommend Paula for a massage.
Perfect Pressure – The massage I had here was great. Victoria was my therapist and she used perfect pressure. I would definitely return here again.
Highly recommend. – I hadn't had a facial in years and went in with no expectations. The experience was delicious, Dianka has the most soothing touch. I highly recommend her. Paula, there's so much to say about Paula. She skillfully relaxed my entire body. Total body massage is a treat I had been denying myself in the past; choosing to focus instead on neck and shoulders. I had been missing out on such a luxurious experience. I highly recommend her!
Ed was amazing. I had asked for a deep tissue massage and that was definitely what I got. At times, the pressure felt a little too much and when I would mention that, he would ease off a bit. After the massage, I felt much better before going in and I will definitely be back to see Ed again.
Don't Change a Thing!! – I found Spaforever by chance. I received an email from Pretty City and saw that they had some Feb discounts. Looked at the spa's offerings and thought Spa forever would be a good choice. I was SO right! It was easy to get to and parking is very easy.
I was greeted politely and introduced to my aesthetician who led me to the room. The details as you enter upon the spa rooms was nice. It was very calming and relaxing and it smelled great. I was not sure if it was vanilla but definitely pleasing to the smell. I had the forever facial and it was great! We spoke for a few minutes on what was going on with my skin and she suggested a gentle peel and she explained everything without talking too much and let me relax. The neck, shoulder and arm massage was great. Don't change a thing!! I did not want to leave. My face felt great and I was SO relaxed. I will definitely be back. I booked a massage for my next visit and I hope it is as great as the facial.

Jamestown schools in pre-stages to make big changes in securityJamestown, ND (WDAY TV) - School administrators in Jamestown are considering security changes at all buildings district-wide.
By: Kay Cooley, WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Jamestown, ND (WDAY TV) - School administrators in Jamestown are considering security changes at all buildings district-wide.
They're looking into adding security cameras, buzzers, and panic buttons after realizing mass shootings like the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut can happen anywhere.
A few security changes may make a lifetime of difference, keeping gunmen out of schools like Jamestown's Gussner elementary.
Bob Toso, Superintendent: "This country needs to have a conversation as to why these things are happening."
Toso has started his own conversation district wide, trying to strengthen school safety after mass shootings like Sandy Hook, when 20 students and six staff members lost their lives last December.
Toso: "When you start hearing about Kindergarten kids being killed, that's just sick."
Peg Wagner, Gussner Elem. Principal: "I think Sandy Hook showed us that it can also happen in our elementary schools."
Several school officials are trying to increase security tactics at the high school and middle school and bring more into the district's five elementary schools.
They're hoping to install cameras at entrances and in hallways, a buzzer at the door and panic button in case of emergencies, and keep all doors locked all day long.
Toso: "Everybody says this can't happen here, we're a safe place. That rang true so much."
Although you can't keep people out completely, the object would be to at least slow them down, before they make it into hallways or ultimately classrooms.
Toso: "We have to show the public that we're going to do everything we can to make the schools as safe as we can."
Right now the ideas are only in the initial stages, but the discussion alone acts as a step towards a safer learning environment beginning next school year.
Wagner: "We want to make sure that parents know we're not going to take it lightly."
Costs are estimated at roughly $100,000.
Administrators are in process of putting together a proposal for the school board. Any work will most likely be done this summer.

Interview: Frank Llaneza of Villazon
A discussion with the president of Villazon & Co., makers of Hoyo de Monterrey and Punch.
Gordon Mott
From the Print Edition:
John Travolta, Jan/Feb 99
Frank Llaneza's love affair with cigars began more than 60 years ago. The president of Villazon & Co., a subsidiary of General Cigar Holdings Inc. since 1996, Llaneza earned his credentials by starting in his father's factory in Ybor City, Florida, sweeping the floors and learning the business from the ground up. Though his fortunes have changed dramatically, Llaneza himself hasn't changed much since those humble beginnings. He continues to travel to Central America to check on the company's factories firsthand, factories that he helped build in the 1960s after the American embargo of Cuba shut off access to the island. Today, after reaping millions of dollars from the sale of his company to General in 1996, Llaneza still goes to work every day and still sits in the office that he shares with his partner, Tino Gonzalez, just as he has for decades. The office is in the same turn-of-the-century factory that was once part of Tampa, Florida's booming cigar manufacturing sector, which is now one of the older sections of the city. The only concession to his fortune is a Mercedes-Benz station wagon.
Like many cigarmakers of his generation, Llaneza lived through several cycles of boom and bust. His reputation, however, surpasses that of many of his peers. He could easily be called the godfather of Honduran cigars, although he swears that the industry there was under development when he first visited in 1960, two years before the trade embargo on Cuba was imposed. And, there's the story about how he and his former partner, Danny Blumenthal, snapped up Cuban tobacco by the thousands of bales immediately before the embargo, and afterwards from companies that were jettisoning their Cuban stocks in favor of tobacco from other places. They bought enough to keep blending Cuban tobacco into their cigars well past 1965. Now, in his late 70s, Llaneza is making the transition to being a member of a big corporation. While he admits to not being used to the paperwork, he is excited by plans to launch some new brands as well as build on the marketing of his current stable of brands, which include Punch and Hoyo de Monterrey.
In a recent wide-ranging conversation with Gordon Mott, managing editor of Cigar Aficionado, Llaneza discussed his 60 years in the cigar business and his take on the future of the industry.
CA: Tell us how you got started in the cigar industry.
Llaneza: I started fairly young, at about the age of 15. I was still in high school and my father was superintendent of Schwab Davis, which was one of the big factories here in Tampa. He also had an interest in Villazon & Co., where he was partners with Mr. José Villazon and Mr. José Arango, and two or three other people. He would work on Sundays there. I used to go after school to Schwab Davis and work in the packing room, punching holes in the heads of cigars, and just being in the factory.
When I graduated from Tampa Jesuit High School, I managed to get a partial scholarship to Georgetown University. But that was during the Depression. There were doctors working in shoe stores. Architects had menial jobs. My father talked to José Suarez, who at that time was one of the key tobacco processors in Cuba. My father asked him to take me to Cuba to learn about the growing and the fermentation of tobacco and everything having to do with tobacco, so that I could maybe come in and run Villazon. That was in his mind. I didn't want to do it. I wanted to go to school. But I took my father's advice and I went into Villazon.
CA: What year did you go to Cuba?
Llaneza: That was about 1939. I kept going back and forth. I was in Cuba when Fidel Castro came down from the mountains into Havana. But we traveled to Cuba because we were making cigars out of Cuban leaf. That's what most of the factories in Tampa did at the time.
CA: What did you first do when you joined Villazon?
Llaneza: Well, I worked there; I had no financial participation in Villazon other than being the son of one of the partners. But I went to Cuba to learn from Mr. Suarez how to be a selector. My dad wanted me to have two years as an apprentice selector, to learn that trade.
